Maybe, maybe not, but in any case you'll need to discuss this with your lawyer(the one who last represented you on the underlying charge).

Re: 1st probation violation

Well, it's up to your probation officer whether to violate you or not, isn't it? Unless you're like in drug court and then when you violate you agree to a certain amount of jail time. Of course enough positive's and probation is going to kick you and the judge is just going to move on to sentencing.

Good luck.
